[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montessori philosophy is based on outdated pedagogy which teaches that children must learn “life skills” in ther early years, like doing dishes and sweeping.  This was needed in the days of Maria Montessori, but not now.  Many of their materials can only be used the “ right way@ which stifles creativity.  Play based preschool is the way to go for today’s children.  [/quote]

LOL. This is the most uniformed and stupidest thing I've read in awhile. Maria Montessori was not training kids as domestic servants. She was a doctor, a scientist and a teacher. The Montessori Method is based on human development. I'm not saying you have to like it, but at least know what you are talking about PP.[/quote]

I agree about Maria Montessori but schools have gone so far astray of her ideals.  Adopting the Montessori structure is incredibly lucrative which is why Montessori schools are all over the place now.  Maria Montessori would probably be horrified that her name is being used on glorified daycares charging outrageous tuition.  I think AMI schools are the only schools anywhere close to what was intended.[/quote]
